This course is made by the University of Pennsylvania and lasts about five weeks. This course was created to help people who want to improve the quality of their English and advance their careers in the global market. Each week in this course you will learn many things. In this course, the material presented by the teacher is quite easy to understand because of the explanation through the video accompanied by subtitles. Each video will include several questions using the questions that have been presented in the video. In addition, there are examples of case studies, readings, and quizzes that help me understand the material presented. The material presented in the course is quite useful for me because it adds new English vocabulary related to resumes, how to find a job, cover letters, and much more. Therefore, I think this course is one of the recommended courses to improve my English vocabulary.

Só. Excelente curso. Congrats.

It was a distinct experiment whose design required the effort, experience and intelligence of experts in language, economics and workforce. With the incentives, instructions, and simple technique, I was able to improve my English language and added a lot to sharpen my listening and my reading skills in particular. As for the technical aspect, I used English to enhance my potential abilities to set up properly my self ahead to the right track of my career, in this, the course was at the forefront because he added information, statistics, and theories that developed the ability to search for the appropriate job opportunity. it is a virtual exceptional skill.

It,s my destiny to be part of this course or a got a chance to learn internationally. i really learned a lot about world's interaction, as well knowledge about foreign job perspective too. How to face internationally interviews, vocabulary style, delivery skills etc.

gratitude for coursera to giving an whole world's students to get an opportunity to learn n get an practical exposure too. but i cannot pay to get an course certificate. kindly provide me the certificate free because i fill the all details about why i am not able to pay for course. i didn't get an any reply for it till now.

it helped me very much as it increase my knowledge and will be helpful in future job search process. but there are few areas which can be improved. in all test quiz/ flash card quiz 2-3 questions are from future lecture which effect on result. Secondly I have issue with assignment grading as most of reviewers/ candidate does mark your work honestly and mark it in fun with mostly giving low grades and give useless feedback to your work which demotivates the learner. In my opinion there should be someone from the website who should review the grading as well.

I really thankful for the course. I've learned so much from the course. I got to learn about U.S job sites and their process though there aren't all similar in my country. Now I know how to write a great resume along with cover letter and the most important thing how will I going to face the interview with confidence. I really wanna give a special thanks to our instructors of this course they were so good and for them it was actually became very easy for me to understand the course. Now that I've gained enough confidence I think I'll do better to get a job.

The course is very helpfull, I could improve my grammar and learn about job interviews and everthing related to the topic. My only concer is that some of the reviewers (students) werent paying attention to the reviews and some of them gave to me wrong reviwe, for example, one of the task in the assigment was to write about my last job experience and the reviewer said thar I dindt follow the rules, but I did, so in the end my grade was low because of others people mistake. I would recommend special attention to this only.

I had a lot of trouble writing my resume because I have been out of the workforce for more than 10 years. This course gave me the confidence to write and even send my resume :) I don't know if a beginner in English would be able to follow it, but it surely is pretty easy for the intermediate-to-advanced English speaker. It could be boring from time to time, but it really breaks out everything about the job-seeking process, from the first address to the potential employer to the preparation of the interview.

I got a very good opportunity to improve my English for future career developing and improve way to communication in organization to staff which are team members manager and others. I am got one more opportunity to in future career improvement increase growth my career in other field also. And how to prepare resume and covering letter and how to speak colleagues & staff to like taboo(not ask anyone religion,politics & salary) etc. thanks to this course design and presented professor & university

An interesting, well-organized course, with helpful examples and engaging teachers (in some reviews, people complain about the speed, but you can easily regulate that, I watched most videos on +1.50). It emphasizes both the process (from job seeking to final interview, step-by-step) and the vocabulary & grammar basics needed for descent writing in English. Many quizzes are too easy, but overall it's a great course, especially if you are a high school student and you don't know where to start from.

Good to learn resume and cover letter writing. Can learn strategies to appear in interview. It helped me to present myself smart in resume and cover letter. And added values on how to appear and prepare for interview. Overall good course but did not include English language learning. This course is much more about career development rather than language learning. But still learn new phrases and verb that improved my English language as well. Thank you for developing this course.

This English course is very informative and provides valuable insights, especially for beginners. The lessons are well-structured and cover essential topics that are helpful for building a strong foundation. However, I found the content a bit too easy for my level, so it didn’t challenge me as much as I had hoped. Overall, it’s a great course for those starting out, and I’d recommend it to anyone looking for clear explanations and practical knowledge.

Yes i find this course very useful as the English grammar that has been used is not that hard and complex to follow. But what i find more meaningful to attend this course is that using the proper way of finding the job, preparing resume,cover letter ,and elevator speech. I am satisfied and have broaden my perspective and knowledge while going for job search process in future. Instructors were very good as well and the course was well structured .

Thank you so much for teaching us such an important lesson in such a straightforward manner. I learned how to use the correct verb tenses after watching this lesson. Aside from learning the distinction between a CV and a resume, I also gained a thorough understanding of how to write a CV and a cover letter. Learned how to conduct an effective job interview. I am confident that all of this will have a significant impact on my future career.

EXCELLENT. I could able to learn the things here may not able to Learn outside at all. But the one thing which discourage me, it is. It was first said that it's free course and will offer certificate after completion. But as I completed this course and then it was showing that I have to purchase, so I am not... happy with your way.... which makes other to .... show what you are going to offer...otherwise don't show that it is.....😔😔

Thanks for the course. For me, it was great to refresh my resume and cover letter knowledge. Also to use English to study a topic and learn some new words it was great. Some parts o the course like the use of the media to promote me I really do not feel comfortable following your instructions. Also, some examples of doing and not doing were a little obvious. In general, I liked it. Regards, Paul.

I am really happy to attend this course and I benefited so much from it. I also like to thank this nice couple of lecturers (Prof. Brian McManus & Prof. Robyn Turner) who conveyed the course topics in a very friendly and harmonized way, my special gratitude to Robyn for her word by a word speaking especially for me, as English is a 2nd Language to me.

I recommended this course all people in all ages.

El curso es excelente, explica claramente el proceso que conlleva a ser contratado por una empresa u organización. Sin embargo para mejorar el aprendizaje del estudiante es importante tener una valoración de las tareas de cada sesión por un experto y no solo por otros estudiantes, esto permitira que cada alumno conozco sus debilidades (gramática, vocabulario etc) y poder trabajar en ello

“English for Career Development” is a valuable course for anyone looking to improve their English while advancing their career prospects. It’s well-organized, comprehensive, and provides learners with the tools they need to succeed in the global job market. Whether you’re new to the job market or seeking to advance in your career, this course offers practical and actionable insights.

The course is enjoyable and enriching, but there's room for development :

- Flashcards in last units can contain more cards and be better !

- There are some language errors and mismatches in the English subtitles

- The basic / advanced versions is an awesome idea, but I feel obliged to read both to complete 100% of the unit (validating one should automatically validate the other)

Great Course for someone looking to know about entering a job market.

great stuff and really useful and helpful.

thanks to all the professors and to The University of Pennsylvania and Us Government for providing such a course and thanks to Coursera for providing such great platform for people like us to learn and grow.

also thanks to everyone else who contributed towards this Cours.

I loved it, I learned a lot, it seems very good for people who just recently got to the United States, I have lived in the States for over 25 years and I have worked for corporate America, however I learned a lot since I haven't had to look for job in many years, this helped my with learning what is important nowadays. I would love to see a course for more senior workers.

I appreciate the University of Pennsylvania for providing a comprehensive course related to personal development specifically for a job-seeking entity it will definitely help to make a good-looking and impressive cover letter and resume. Thanks for providing me a financial assistance without it will not be possible for me to learn a clean approach to career development.
